Harum Scarum (released in the United Kingdom as Harem Holiday) is a 1965 American musical comedy film starring Elvis Presley. It was shot on the original Cecil B. DeMille set from the film The King of Kings, with additional footage shot on location at the Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, Los Angeles.
"Harum Scarum" (1965) was Elvis' 19th movie of the 31 in his acting filmography. Many say it's his worst, but it's not. It's a tuneful frolic and sendup of Middle Eastern swashbucklers, like Sinbad or even Conan, but more amusing, cheaper and without the sorcery & monsters.
Harum Scarum: Directed by Gene Nelson. With Elvis Presley, Mary Ann Mobley, Fran Jeffries, Michael Ansara. American singer Johnny Tyronne is enlisted by sinister forces to assassinate an Arab king--and falls in love with that very king's daughter.

But aside from the odd diversion, Harum Scarum was a dreadful bore, all the worse for wanting to be serious when comedy was the best approach. Reviewer: Graeme Clark
This film was given the esteemed honor of being in The Official Razzie Movie Guide as one of the 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made. It certainly earns its stripes within the first five minutes as Elvis is sword fighting on what looks like an old 60s Star Trek set and kills a leopard with one powerful Kung Fu Chop.
